Hello everyone. I'm going to do something I very rarely do -- ask you for money.
It's not for me. It's for all of us, really.
My brother is once again riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge -- a bike ride across Massachusetts to raise money for cancer research at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
He's been doing this ride for 18 years, and he has raised over $88,000. Occasionally, he says "This year will be my last." It's a lot of work to train and ride on the day. Last year, he couldn't ride because he was injured, and it seemed like he was done. But here he is again. He just can't help himself. He knows how important this is.
This is the email he sent out this year:
I hope you had a great July 4th Holiday weekend! We're only 4 weeks out to this year's Pan Mass Challenge , and I'll be riding again for my 18th year.
The PMC raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country, $1.125 billion since 1980 and $78 million in 2025 alone! This success is the result of a lot of people riding for, and caring about, a cure. And because every penny matters, 100 percent of your donation goes to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I've made a personal commitment to ride PMC 2026 and raise $4,000.00. I hope you can help me achieve this significant goal. To give online, you can use the following link to go to my personal fundraising site: http://www.pmc.org/profile/ Every donation brings us closer by the mile. Many thanks, Mike |
PMC donations are tax deductible and 100% will go to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC's tax ID / EIN is 04-2746912. The Pan-Mass Challenge only uses your personal information to thank you and will not share it with any other organizations.
I know not everyone is able to donate, and that's OK. But if you're inclined, please consider clicking the link and giving a little something. It doesn't need to be a lot. And it helps us all.
Thanks for considering the request.
